Asbestos Over Cladding in Flimby and the surrounding area
The cost of licensed removal, and the disruption of it, are what make over-cladding worth considering on an older farm or industrial building. Given stable asbestos cement sheets and a sound frame, a new insulated roof fixes over the top, encapsulating the old sheeting and stopping the leaks. Where a roof is too far gone, we say so and arrange licensed removal through a specialist.
Flimby and its surrounding area, taking in Broughton Moor, Colvend, Fairgirth, Kippford and Douglas Hall, is regular ground for our over-cladding work, along with the wider Cumbria. Send the postcode and we will come and assess the sheets.
